Hill Sprint Are the Best........seriously I am joking

Tuesday's workout was hill sprints. Again many of these things are new to me and this is one of them. I have to say I am a wimp when it comes to hills and Tuesday was no different. I know they will make me a better runner especially since the Nike Woman's marathon has so many hills, but I really hate hill sprints. I need to have turbo power shoes to help me get up the hill!!!

My Journey Begins

Today is the official Day 1 of my training. The team in Training Kick off party was this weekend. It was amazing!! I was overwhelmed, excited, nervous, and inspired. We got to meet our team, coaches, mentors and honorees (I will be talking about my teams honorees throughout my training process) and most importantly we got our training schedule (OMG I am terrified!)

Today my training officially started. Couldn't have been a crazier day to start training for a marathon. Started with getting Gracie to school, Wish Upon A Wedding Event Chair conference call, and my schedule goes on and on until I finally got home around 9:30 tonight.

I got home and realized I still needed to run for 30 minutes today. So I strapped my running shoes on and off I went. It was a great run even though I was exhausted before I started. So many things running through my head. The most important thing that I couldn't get out of my head was "I am so proud of myself for actually committing to starting my training TONIGHT and not procrastinating it until TOMORROW."

After running the full thirty minutes I realized this is the start of an amazing journey for me. I don't know if I can actually run 26.2 miles but I know I am going to do everything in my power to try!
